Mouse Tracking

[Stephen Bazemore]

hello,

Im having a little trouble with my auto update. I get the file to download but during the download I would like to have the percentage complete updated in the title bar. I dont really know where to start but my main thought was to do something like this :

Counter = 0
Do While Counter <> 100
Counter = Counter + 1
Me.Caption = "Appname : " & txtURL.Text & CStr(Counter)

That doesnt work. So now i'm kinda stuck. I also have another question. I need to know how to make my program watch for mouse clicks within your browser while in the system tray. The systray part is easy, but I cant figure out how to watch for the mouse clicks. What i'm wanting is when someone clicks on a file to download I want my program to pop up. I dont want it to pop up when a normal link is clicked on. I just dont know where to start when it comes to this kind of stuff. Any and all help is appreciated.

Anyone know?

Q1 and Q2

What controls are you using? Maybe you're using the InternetExplorer Object?
Different controls have different methods.

I'm using the winsock control for the downloading.

Mouse tracking?

Hmmm for the winsock:

First get the remote filesize by getting the header.
Download the file in chunks, while updating the progressbar

size = Getremotefilesize
ProgressbarMax = size
Do
chunk = 1024
GetChunk(1024)
progressbarval = progressbarval + chunk
Loop

Ofcourse this is pseudo code, I never worked with winsock before so I don't know how to do it.

I'm not having trouble downloading the file or with the progress bar. I've got that to work fine. I just dont know how to make a percentage complete from the progress on the progress bar.
